viewing posted schematics on this site

I am unable to view schematics posted on this site. I have changed to the recommended mono-font and still no luck. The symbols just don't line up.
Using Windows 7 Professional and Google's Chrome browser.
All help appreciated.

I use Thunderbird as a usenet client. Not the best one around, but it's
free and it shows monospaced content perfectly fine.

I'm actually frustrated enough with the state-of-the-art newsreaders
(both web based and native clients), that I've considered creating my
own. Only problem is I lack the time to do so.

Hmm well my 'test' looked the same in the old and new google groups...
So that's not it.

Maybe google chrome? I'm not using that.

I'm using Win7 with IE10 and its default Windows Live Mail (WLM) news
reader. It uses a variable width font for plain text and there seems to be
no way to change this except by changing to RTF and using Courier (or other
monospace) font. Instead of fooling with that, I just copy/paste the ASCII
ART schematic into a text file.

I prefer using LTSpice for simple schematics as it allows for much clearer
symbols, as well as simulation, of course, and subsequent editing. I also
like to take a screenshot (Alt-FN-End) and copy into Paint and save as PNG
and upload to my server like this:

I also sometimes put the ASC file there as well:

google didn't invent this messaging system, (usenet) they
just implemneted a fairly poor web-based interface to it

Single-line paragraphs instead of format-flowed like the rest of us,
suggests he's using the new one.

The new one now has view original so it's usable for reading
ASCII-art schematics, you just need to know how.

Thank you Group !!!
The "show original" option in Google Chrome worked just fine. So did the "copy to notepad" method that was suggested.

Thanks again,
